Alpine evergreen broadleaf tree species must regularly cope with low night temperatures in winter. However, the effects of low night temperatures on photosynthesis in alpine evergreen broadleaf tree species are unclear.

Size matters for single-cell C4 photosynthesis in Bienertia [PDF]
Bienertia cycloptera belongs to a diverse set of plants, recently discovered to perform C4 photosynthesis within individual mesophyll cells. How these plants accomplish high photosynthetic efficiency without adopting Kranz anatomy remains unanswered.

Protection against photooxidative injury of tobacco leaves by 2-alkenal reductase: detoxication of lipid peroxide-derived reactive carbonyls [PDF]
Degradation of lipid peroxides leads to the formation of cytotoxic 2-alkenals and oxenes (collectively designated reactive carbonyls). The novel NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase 2-alkenal reductase (AER; EC 1.3.1.74) from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana),

The role of sulfur in osmoregulation and salinity tolerance in cyanobacteria, algae, and plants [PDF]
Organosulfur compounds are involved in osmoregulation and salinity tolerance in some cyanobacteria and photosynthetic eukaryotes. Glycinebetaine, the osmolyte of the halotolerant cyanobacterium, Aphanothece halophytica, requires the sulfonium compound. S-

Detailed temporal modelling of carbon and water fluxes from pastures in New Zealand : case study of an experimental dairy farm in the Waikato region : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Soil Science, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The terrestrial biosphere is an important pool of carbon, with its size governed by the opposing processes of CO2 uptake through photosynthesis and release through respiration.

Overexpressing the H-protein of the glycine cleavage system increases biomass yield in glasshouse and field grown transgenic tobacco plants [PDF]
Photorespiration is essential for C3 plants, enabling oxygenic photosynthesis through the scavenging of 2‐phosphoglycolate. Previous studies have demonstrated that overexpression of the L‐ and H‐proteins of the photorespiratory glycine cleavage system ...
